98 والمَطْلُوبُ مَا قَدَرُوا اللهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ إِنَّ اللهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ 130 Those on whom you call beside Allah cannot create even a fly, though they should all combine together for the purpose; and if a fly should snatch away anything from them, they cannot recover it therefrom. Their worshippers lack intelligence and they themselves lack power. Can such as these be gods? God is One Who is more powerful than all those who possess power. He is the Mighty, Who is Supreme over all. No one can apprehend Him or kill Him. Those who fall into such errors have not a true concept of God's attributes. Then He said: God is the Bestower of Security and sets forth proof of His attributes and His Unity. This is an indication that he who believes in the True God is not embarrassed in any company, nor would he be remorseful in the presence of God, for he is equipped with strong proofs. But he who believes in a false god finds himself in great distress. He describes every senseless thing as a mystery so that he should not be laughed at and seeks to hide demonstrable errors. 133. Surely, those on whom you call instead of Allāh cannot create even a fly, though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they cannot recover it therefrom. Weak indeed are both the seeker and the sought. They esteem not Allāh with the estimation which is His due. Surely, Allāh is Powerful, Mighty. (The Holy Quran, al-Ḥajj 22:74-75)
